Ben-my-Chree withdrawn from service due to stern door issue

Manannan to sail to Heysham on Tuesday

The Ben-my-Chree is being temporarily withdrawn from service tomorrow (3 November).

It’s due to an issue with the stern door which requires ‘essential maintenance work’.

Passengers will be transferred to the Manannan instead which will travel to and from Heysham.

Manannan will leave the Isle of Man at 8am and arrive at 10.15am.

The return journey will leave at 1.45pm and arrive in Douglas at 4pm.

Arrow will undertake the freight operations.

Customers who will be affected will be contacted directly.

In a statement the Isle of Man Steam Packet said: “The company apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks customers for their patience and understanding while this essential maintenance is completed.”
